As I’ve said twice already now: DDG is a shitty name for those of us might want to use the company name as a verb.
My comment is no more profound than that.
I’m not making any comment about social norms. And nor am I saying it’s impossible to describe searching for content online without “verbing” the company name.
I’m just saying DDG is hard to use as a verb.
Edit: I did say “adverb” in my previous comment. Obviously I meant “verb”. My painkillers hadn’t kicked in yet so excuse the faux pas there.
- x______________ 8mo agoIn my experience, I've introduced DGG* to some colleagues and friends and later on, the feedback received was "I now use DGG". Not everything needs to be a jingle I suppose.. https://dgg.gg https://dgg.gg for those who prefer it better than ddg :)

While true, what’s also true is that jingles exist precisely because they are effective messaging. And DDG is missing out on that. Hence the comments about verbing.
